Battle flag in the bassinet
|
Oil and blood on the bayonet
|
Crowded downtown hit the floor
|
What are we fightin' for?
|
|
What are we fightin' for?
|
What are we fightin' for?
|
|
The world got smaller but the bombs got bigger
|
Holocaust on a hairpin trigger
|
Aint no game so forget the score
|
What are we fightin' for?
|
|
What are we fightin' for?
|
What are we fightin' for?
|
What are we fightin' for?
|
|
What will I tell my daughter?
|
What will you tell your son?
|
Where were all the doves?
|
That we were nothing but a shadow,
|
a faceless generation devoid of love?
|
|
The crucifix ain't no baseball bat
|
Tell me what kind of God is that?
|
Ain't nothing more godless than a war
|
So what are we fightin' for?
|
|
What are we fightin' for?
|
What are we fightin' for?
|
What are we fightin' for?
|
|
What will I tell my daughter?
|
What will you tell your son?
|
Where were all the doves?
|
That we were nothing but a shadow,
|
A faceless generation¡¦
|
|
What are we fightin' for?
|
(To fade)
